Making Your First Measurement
3.1 Introduction
This chapter describes how to make a basic measurement and how to save and document the
results. It assumes you have just received your analyzer and are turning it on for the first time.
Note: A stylus is stored in a holder on the side of the instrument, see item 15 in Fig.2.1. This
can be used on the touch-sensitive screen to select icons and functions during the procedures
that follow. Alternatively, you can use the various pushbuttons, see items 3 to 11 in Fig.2.1.
The following procedures assume that the measurement microphone and preamplifier have
been mounted as described in Chapter 2 and the analyzer has a fully charged battery, see
section 2.5.1.
3.2 Point and Shoot
Using the following basic procedure you will be able to start using your hand-held analyzer
immediately to make measurements and start the familiarisation process:
1) Switch on by pressing and make sure the Sound Level Meter project template is
selected (see section 3.3.3 for instructions).
2) Check that the data path at the top of the screen displays the correct job/project, (that is,
where you want to save the new data). See section 6.1.1.
3) Set Measurement Mode to Manual and change any setup parameters by tapping the Main
Menu icon and selecting Setup from the drop-down that appears.
4) Press the Start/Pause pushbutton , then monitor the status indicator (traffic light).
5) Use the Start/Pause , Continue , Back-erase and Reset pushbuttons to control
the measurement.
